Sound familiar?

The register, the leave diary and the salary sheet never agree.

Register · SoHoJake · in 09:00 ✓signed by a friend at 09:00actually arrived 10:40nobody can tell

Signed in at nine, arrived at eleven.

A paper register or a shared tablet can't tell who is really at the branch. The friend who signs for you is the attendance system.

Sheet8 daysedited Mar, Jun, Sep Employee11 days"I never took May" two numbers · no history · an argument

Two leave balances and no history.

A balance kept as a number in a sheet gets edited. When an employee disputes it, there is nothing to show how it got there.

Salary sheet · Octobersame person made itand approved ita formula off by one rowthen retyped into the books

The same hours typed in twice.

Hours and leave typed into a spreadsheet, then again into the payroll provider. Each copy is a chance to get it wrong.

SK People keeps attendance, leave and the payroll export on one record per person.

How it works

Clock in. Take leave. Export. Grow.

Every person has one record. Attendance and leave feed the payroll export; the export goes to your payroll provider; reviews and workflows sit on the same record.

01 · Clock inInside the fence

From the phone inside the branch geofence, on the office network, or at the rotating-QR kiosk. Missed a punch? Ask, and a manager decides.

02 · Take leaveA ledger, not a number

Accruals, approvals, carry-forward and lapse are rows on a ledger. The balance is what the rows add up to.

03 · ExportOne clean export

Hours, paid leave and approved claims go out as one file for your payroll provider. US payroll is not offered.

04 · GrowWorkflows and reviews

Joining, confirmation, transfer and exit run as checklists; on Scale, goals, KPIs and 360 reviews.

Proof you can check

No borrowed logos. Rules you can test on the demo.

SK People 6.0 shipped in October 2026. These are how the product behaves; ask us to show any of them on the call.

Balances are never edited

Leave is a ledger of opening, accrual, debit, credit, encashment and lapse rows. Corrections are new rows, so every balance has its history.

Clock-ins checked against the fence

A phone clock-in outside the branch geofence is refused, and the attempt stays on the record.

Each company walled off

The database itself keeps every organisation's records apart on every table, set from the verified login.

Statutory records kept

When someone leaves, personal extras can be erased; payroll, tax and identity records stay for the statutory period, 7 years and more.

What it does, in eight moves

From the offer letter to the exit interview.

Directory and org chart

Everyone, where they sit, who they report to.

One record per person: department, designation, manager, joining date, employment type and status, from probation to confirmed to on notice to separated. The org chart draws itself from the reporting lines and opens branch by branch. SK People is the master for who works here; the other Softknack products read from it.

  • Probation period you set: 30, 60 or 90 days
  • Searchable directory with department and designation filters
  • Separated staff lose their login; their history stays

Attendance with a geofence

Clocked in means at the branch.

Staff clock in from their phone only inside the branch geofence, about 100 metres by default. Desk staff can be held to the office network. At the front desk, a tablet shows a QR code that keeps changing, so a photo of yesterday's code is worthless. Missed a punch? The employee asks, the manager decides, and the change is recorded.

  • GPS geofence, office IP lock and rotating-QR kiosk on every plan
  • Branches with their own fence: 1, 3 or 10 by plan
  • Biometric devices and shift rosters are coming soon

Leave on a ledger

Every day of leave has a receipt.

Leave is kept as a ledger, not a number: an opening balance, a monthly or yearly accrual, a debit for each approved request, a credit for comp-off, a lapse at year end. The balance anyone sees is what those rows add up to, so a dispute is settled by reading the history. Your policy decides half-days, carry-forward, lapse and whether weekends inside a leave count.

  • Requests, approvals and the calendar in the app
  • Half-day leave and the sandwich rule as settings
  • Leave encashment into the payroll export on Scale

Payroll exportGrowth

Your payroll provider gets one clean file.

SK People doesn't run US payroll. It gathers what your payroll provider needs at month end: hours from attendance, paid leave from the ledger and approved expense claims, as one export, after missed punches and leave are decided.

  • Hours, paid leave and approved claims per employee
  • Missed punches and leave decided before the export
  • US overtime rules are coming soon

Expense claimsGrowth

Snap the receipt. It is paid with the salary.

Staff photograph the receipt in the app and pick a category: travel, food, supplies. The manager approves in one tap. Approved claims go into the month's payroll export, and the receipt stays on the record, scanned and stored in SK Drive.

  • Receipt capture on the phone; categories you set
  • Approvals by the manager, with notes
  • Receipts scanned before they are stored

Joining to exitGrowth

Nobody's first day starts without a laptop.

Joining, confirmation, transfer and exit each run as a checklist you design: manual tasks like handing over a laptop, documents like the offer letter or an NDA signed in SK Sign, approvals by the right managers, and actions the system does on its own, like opening a login. Everyone sees what is waiting on them.

  • Four triggers: joining, confirmation, transfer, separation
  • Offer letters and NDAs signed through SK Sign
  • Full-and-final settlement is coming soon

Performance reviewsScale

Reviews against goals, not against memory.

Set goals and KPIs with weights at the start of the cycle and update them through the quarter. At review time, the employee rates themselves, peers add feedback and the manager decides, all on the same record. Quarterly or yearly, as you run it.

  • Goals and KPIs with weights and progress
  • Self, peer and manager reviews: 360 feedback
  • On Scale, with leave encashment into the payroll export

Documents and self-service

The contract, the ID and the payslip, in the employee's pocket.

Every employee has a vault: IDs, tax forms, signed contracts and certificates, stored in SK Drive and scanned before they are kept. Staff use the web or mobile app to clock in, ask for leave, see their balance and send expense claims. Approvals reach managers by email and in the app.

  • Storage per plan: 5 GB, 20 GB or 100 GB
  • Self-service on the web and on a mobile app
  • Payslips on WhatsApp and voice self-service are coming soon

Questions owners ask

Before the demo.

What does SK People cost?
A base price per organisation that includes 10 employees: Starter USD 19, Growth USD 39 and Scale USD 79 a month, before sales tax. Each employee after the tenth is USD 2, USD 4 or USD 6 a month. Tiers go up to 50, 200 and 1,000 employees. Every plan starts with 15 days free.
Does it run US payroll?
No. SK People gives your payroll provider one export with hours, paid leave and approved claims. US payroll and tax filing are not offered.
Can staff clock in from home?
Only if you allow it. Phone clock-ins work inside the branch geofence, desk clock-ins can be held to the office network, and the front-desk kiosk shows a QR code that keeps changing. Anyone outside asks for a missed punch, and a manager decides.
Can we bring our leave balances from our old system?
Yes. Each person's balance comes in as an opening entry on the ledger, and accruals, approvals and lapses build on it from there.
We already use SK Salon, SK Works or SK Fleet. Do we need this?
Those products read your staff from SK People for their own work, under their own plans. Add SK People when you want attendance, leave and reviews for the whole team in one place.
Where is our data stored?
Hosted in India. Every organisation is walled off in the database from the verified login, and statutory records are kept for the legal period even after an employee leaves.
